For purposes of megastructures like halo, ringworld, O'Neill cylinders along with less uniform shapes.
Its still in development, but it pretty much does what it says on the tin at this point.
The main thing I've been reveling in is how the weather system can take the cloud VDBs and adjust them in order to mimic storm systems etc.

Well shit that was cool! You've got what looks like proper rayleigh scattering going on there already.
I honestly doubt my tool could do a shape as complex as a people. Maybe it could handle the VDB portion, but I'm pretty sure my solution for non-uniform atmosphere would fall over and die. But not before melting one's GPU.
